The Government of Ghana has secured broadcast rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, ensuring that football fans across the country will be able to watch the tournament live on selected media platforms.

Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, disclosed this during the presentation of a GH¢5 million donation from GCB Bank towards the Black Stars fundraising campaign.

According to the Minister, support from government together with contributions from corporate institutions and fundraising initiatives played a key role in securing the television rights for the global football showpiece.
